But I did what I did before love came to town

I've never been a huge U2 fan (I know! I'm the one person on earth), but have seen B B King in concert and really admire his talent. I'm probably also the only one on earth who had never heard this song until tonight. That last verse - man!

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I rolled the dice when they pierced His side,
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.
